WE this day give some further ExtraCts from the Foreign Papers, ar.nongst which is another Letter from Sir SAMUEL HOOD, relative to the late gallant Aaion in the Baltic. It is highly gratifying to ob serve the harmony which exists between the Com manders of the British and Swedish Fleets, and which leaves no doubt that they will, or rather, we hope we may say, have, meted most cordially together in the intended attack upon the Russian Fleet. Some fears have been expressed that the Russians may have been enabled to bring down a sufficient number of troops to cover the Fleet from attack, before the Swedish troops could arrive. The probability or improbability of this depends upon so many circum stances, some of which it might be impossible for human ptnirer to controul, that it would be absurd for us to attempt to give a derisive opinion upon the subject. Such a doubt, however, is easily started, and against it we may be permitted to express a confident hope that the Combined Fleets received the requisite assistance in time, in which case there can be lit tie doubt of their success. In one of the articles in the Dutch Papers, remarkablte expression is stated to have been used by Musr APHA BAIRACTAR, who has so recently made and un-made Sultans in Turkey : " The Porte has enemies—she must carry on war, and the military preparations must be con cluded with redoubled activity." From the turn of the expression, the term enemies has been supposed to apply to France and Russia. If so, ,the late Re volution at Constantinople has of course been highly favourable to. this Country ; but we are not yet suf ficiently acqu . .ainted with the circumstances of this Revolution, c I the characters of the principal aaors in this sanguii awry tragedy, to enable us to pronounce a decisive °pit sion. The two tr, eaties (if such they can be called) by which CIIARL ks IV. and the Prince of Asturias (FERDINAND v IL) ceded their rights to the Crown of Spain, to 13U.?NAPARTE, will be found in another part of our Pai ) . er. The subst once of them was long since know. u, but the documents are still in teresting. Some details fro. to the Petersburgh Gazette will also be found, thou c,:h of an old date, respecting the progress of tile wa in Finland. The result of th a Negotiations-at Lisbon has na turally excited gre qt anxiety and disgust wherever it has been manic): and what was justly dered as a triumph. , . to Great Britain, hos bLn !a mentably convertecl into the triumph . of her Enemy. Indeed, according 19 the present information which the public mind p, Oisesses, it appear 'to be one of the most disgracett 11 events that has ever sullied the page of British his; ;ory. Still, however, it becotnes the just, the manly, the generous charaeler of Eng lishmen, to papsel)efore they give way to feelings cif . resentment, to inquire into the real grounds of transa6tions that mate atfe& the national honour and interest, to distingt tish the error from giailt, and policy from fear. lrhe charadter of. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY has beep 4iastily, wantonly, and cruelly attacked by those w ho know very little, if any thing,. of the part wli ich he acted in the disgraceful business in question. 4 iiirely when a man has she%vn such distinguished taleofs as a Soldier and'a States• man, as have been dispiffed by this gallant Officer in all the transactions in which he has hitherto been concerned, it would be no more than common. justice, if we do not gi ye him 'credit for having acted wholly without desiorving blame in this un fortunate business, to w iit till we hear what he , has to say in his own defe tire. --But the adversaries. of Sir 'ART4ina seem resolved to condemn him without inquiry, though the least reflection ought to convince them that he ac ted only in obediende to the Commander in Chief, awd that he would have subjected himself to military punishment if he . had presumed to dispute the orclers of his superior. - - But we can say, upon the 40'4 authority, that the whole of the negotiations which have ended so fatally, were condpcted by the Commander in Chief himself,. and that Sir ARTIIIirR WELLESLEy had no option but to obey, whatewr might be his pri vate sentiments, and. however-, he might privately have objected to such a humiliating concession, its this Convention ought more pt.( iperly to be termed. Tike C-cincaarAlcr in Chief h4s assigned reasons for having so precipitately conclude.d this apparently scandalous, and we may say, infamous Treaty; and the public should suspend their judgment, even on him to whom the whole blame, if an y, is to be imputed, till the period of inquiry, It has been said, that if we had refused these terms, to JUDIOT, we might hive consumed months in successively reducing the forts of Palmela, Cascaes, Fort Julien, Fort Bugio, as well as the more extensive fortresses of Elvas and Airne.ida, which ,ToNor had it fully in his power to, garrison and de fend. This is certainly an important point, and ought to be considered, when we refle& on: the ob vious policy of being able to detach a part of our Army to the assistance of Spain, after the reduc tion of the French in Portugal. But a still more weighty argument has been urged in palliation of the Treaty, for we cannot bring ourselves to use the word dqfrace, or consider it as admissible, even while we are prohibiting all prejudication on this melancholy event—a stilt more weighty argu ment is, that which holds out the probability that if the enemy had refused to surrender, our victuallers might have had no security for landing provisions till the Harbour of Lisbon should be open, and that adverse weather might have exposed the British Army to the danger of being starved. This is an essential point, and must of c ourse be particularly considered. Disgraceful as it appears to be to have suffered the French Plunderers to escape with their booty, and even for us to agree to purchase that part of it which they would not be able to remove, it sinks intp nothing in comparison with the safety of our own Army. On the other hand, is it certain that the Portu guese would not willingly have parted with all the property which those infamous free-booters had taken, in order to get rid, as soon as possible, - of such hordes of tyrannical and inhuman ruffians, men who ha;:,, , 3 hardly any quality left that belongs to their species ? Though it does not appear upon the face of the Convention that the Portuguese were consulted, it is by no means probable that their opinions and their wishes had not been considered on the occasion. That Ministers at home should wholly escape from censure was not to be expected, as there are people enough always upon the watch to impeach their motives, to misrepresent their designs, and to calumniate their best measures; but when we con sider that they had sent an army fully - adequate to the service on which they were to be employed, under Generals of approved merit, it would be the worst of injustice to throw any blame on them for a trans action which has completely disappointed all the hopes which they had reason to indulge, and all the recompetoe which they had a right to expect from the Success of that Expedition which had been wisely planned and promptly carried into execution. As to that part of the Convention which relates to 'the Russian Fleet, othei considerations ought to be taken irate the question. It Is obviously our wish, as it is our interest, to get the Emperor ALEX/OMER out of the disgraceful trammels in which he is held by the crafty Tyrant of , France, and not ,to irritate his mind, and drive him into a more intimate connection with that unappeasable Enemy of ►his Country. Bin this part cif the quest ion will of course undergo as rigid an inqiilry at home as all the rest of the disastrous consequences of what ought to have been one of the most glorious , -triumphs of ()L1 r arms. To recur to Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY it must be admitted thatibe had no exclusive power to form treaties—he had not even the negative power to re f* his assent to any which the Commander had full authority to conclude, and, therefore, to the Commander in Chief alone must the nation look for an explanation of such a transa6ion as brings dis honour where we had a right to look with confidence for national exultation, and perhaps the deliverance cf all Europe. By the Champion frigate, .arrived from Cadiz, ad vices from that quarter of the 29th ult. have been received. They state, - that on the morning of that day a vessel had arrived from Buenos Ayres with 'dispatches, after a passage of 84 days. The letters had not been delivered when the Champion sailed, but it was understood that t he Portuguese Govern ment at the Brazils had sent a force against Spanish America, and demanded the immediate surrender - of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Compliance with this demand was peremptoriiy refused, and fourteen thousand troops, under the command of the respec tive Governors of 'those places, were in arms to de fend themselves against the advances of the forces from the Brazils. The accounts of the late events in Europe will' of course : induce the Portuguese to forego any farther hostile project against tho Spanish colonies. early on Friday morning, the gaol in Carlisle was broken open, and five felons made their escape.-. It' seems that they had, -durirl; the night, sawed off their irons by means of knives, 3414igi4" they had formed into something resembling saws, and after having made a passage out of their cell, by remov ing the stone pavement beneath the . door , clambered over the outer wall of the prison. • lyfor.—A Fattier, who had- himself per formed the cerenitiny'* giving away his Natur4 ,Daughter in marriage contract, at St. ,George's.„ Hanover-square, said, " she was iI9W bill Child by Marriage as well as by Naturc." MPI SIVEDISH PAPERS, A Letter from Sir S. HOOD to Sir lAM s SA UM P,12 z, of the Bath, Vice-Admiral of the blue, &c. " Ceutaur, before Rogerwick, Aug. 2.7, iSo!. "You will have perceived by my letter of the 25th, that the Russian Fleet was seen on the .23d, off the Road of Oro. Preparations were immtchatey made to leave that Road, after a innEtion had ben - formed by his Swedish Majesty's Ships which were lying in Jungfrusund, and Admiral iNAuciuto,ek . s Squadron, completed the 24th at night. " "Early the following morning the whole force put to sea, and soon after the Russian Fleet hove in sight, off HangS Point, wind N.E. Not a moment was lost to bear down upon the enemy, and his Swedish Majesty's Fleet stood on with a press of sail. On account of their superiority of sailing,tho l Centaur and Implacable soon 'shot a-bead of the Fleet, and gained fast upon the enemy, who seemed to be in the greatestdisordor, and anxious to avoid 1 , a battle. 4 f On the 26th inst. about 5 o'clock in the morn- ing, the Implacale succeeded in bringing the lee ward-most Itu,sian, Ship to anion, which she en gaged in the most gallant manner, and ma u ceuvred with so much skill and precision, that the superior discipline ana seamanship displayed by the Officers could not but become conspicuous to the Russian Admiral, who backed sail, and it was only owing to the approach of the whole Russian Fleet that the Sttip engaged did not fall into our bonds, because her colours were adually struck. " I then ordered the Implacable to join me. Capt. MARTIN speaks in high terms of praise of the brave and steady conduct of Lieut. BALDWIN, and the rest of his officers and men. Could any thing that I might say render more conspicuous the merits of Capt. MARTIN, that gallant, honourable, aLld es• cellent Officer, it would give me the most heartfe4 satisfadion to say it, but no words can do justice to the sentiments of sincere resped which I entertain for him both as an Officer and a man. " The Russian Admiral, who detached 4 frigate to take the disabled ship in tow, bore away, and while the Implacal* was setting her sails, I forced the frigate to put the tow-rope, when the Itussial 3 Admiral immediately stood back with the who', Fleet to assist her.
